OSHA fines Timken Company $170,500 after complaint inspection finds 12 safety violations at Canton, Ohio, steel mill
OSHA cited Timken Company for twelve alleged safety violations including 5 repeat after conducting a complaint inspection this past June at the steel mill in Canton where roller bearings are manufactured.
"Timken Co. has a responsibility to recognize safety hazards in its facility and to train workers in emergency response," said Howard Eberts, OSHA's area director in Cleveland. "When employers knowingly ignore safety and health requirements, they are unduly placing their workers at risk for illnesses and injuries, and that is unacceptable."

"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually. Employee availability and scheduling conflicts made it nearly impossible to schedule an onsite class. We were pleased to learn that our OSHA requirements can be satisfied online. Looking forward to the ease of use next year." Mary M., Cardinal Health
